Hello All
I was looking at another forum in the UK about restoration of classic cars, they put a link onto this site. I have a rusty car! And I will need to do some bodywork. What appeals to me is learning a new skill and hopefully making shaped metal to replace the rust. It is easy to open the cheque-book and get someone else to do it but far more rewarding to do it yourself.I have found this with other projects.
I must admit I'm a novice at this but with practice and some determination hope to achieve my final goals.It probably isn't going to be for some time as I will need to get a few tools together, and following researching this forum make a few of my own
Anyway that's me!

Welcome to the forum, Andrew :)

Hi Andrew welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum, Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

I'm glad the link I made caught your curiosity, I do try to pass on this site for those who feel the need to learn how this craft is properly taught.
I do admire the have a go restorers, but I wish they would research a bit more before they buy a welder & angle grinder:lol:

There are so many talented people on here. both present & past, so research through the archives, ask lots of questions & most importantly play with metal, it's more like elastic once you get into it

thanks for the recommendation,its a great site,I have looked at a lot of you tube clips , and some getting some really good ideas
I have just got myself an Alfa spider and 1 half floor needs replacing and the other sides just needs a small area made up, perhaps my 1st attempt will be this area
watch this space!

Welcome Andrew. An Alfa spider is worth the effort. Enjoy the trip of learning new skills.
